The concept of sustainability from an ESG perspective

Abstract

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles have become an essential framework for assessing and guiding sustainable development on a global scale. These principles provide a comprehensive perspective through which countries can analyze the long-term viability and societal impact of their development strategies. In the context in which the world is increasingly facing challenges such as climate change, social inequality and governance deficits, the integration of ESG principles has become essential for countries that aim to achieve resilient and inclusive growth. The Republic of Moldova must benefit from the adoption of these principles to shape its future and face the challenges of EU integration. The purpose of the research was to analyze the specialized literature on ESG principles and their role in ensuring sustainable development. The methods used are: monographic analysis, documentary analysis, comparative analysis, historical method and synthesis. The results of this study consist of substantiating the concept of sustainability through the lens of ESG principles, defining ESG components and their role and impact in ensuring sustainable development, and identifying the benefits that the implementation of ESC principles can bring.
